Unveiling the Mystery of DNA overstretching transitions When subjected to force at about 65 picoNewtons, DNA undergoes a perplexing structural transition. Referred to as overstretching, this transition abruptly extends the contour length of B-DNA around 1.7 times. Conflicting experimental findings have led to uncertainty about whether this overstretching produces a single-stranded DNA or S-DNA, a novel double-stranded DNA. |
Quantum Information Motion Control Is Now Improved It was reported that a team of physicists from the Centre for Computational Science and Engineering of the NUS Faculty of Science and China’s Zhejiang University have devised a new method for handling the effect of the interplay between vibrations and electrons on electronic transport. The study could have implications for quantum computers due to improvements in the transport of discrete amounts of information, known as qubits, that are encoded in electrons. It was also mentioned that their paper is about to be published in The European Physical Journal B. |
